February 7, 2007: Prosecution Concludes Showing Libby Jury Videotaped Testimony

The prosecution in the Lewis Libby trial concludes its presentation of Libby’s grand jury testimony from 2004 (see February 5, 2007 and February 6, 2007). The day’s proceedings begin with lengthy arguments between the lawyers over the upcoming testimony of NBC reporter Tim Russert (see February 7-8, 2007); once the arguments are concluded, the jurors listen to the remaining audiotapes of Libby’s testimony. At the end of the grand jury testimony, Libby is reduced to claiming, over and over again, his failure to recall the events in question.
